The former Emmerdale actress has been in great spirits since relocating to the States to be with her firefighter husband. 

The pair married in January last year, two months after their engagement. 

Speaking about the new chapter in her life, Roxane gushed: ‘I feel like the luckiest woman in the world to have such a beautiful life here in New York and to be blessed with the most incredible husband and our little baba on the way.

Happy: The pair married in January last year, two months after their engagement

‘I now know what ‘happy ever after’ feels like. My Mum is over the moon and is already knitting for England! And my husband is driving around New York City at all hours getting me pizza and cookies. 

‘It’s been quite the adventure already. We’re in such a bubble of excitement. It’s true that happiness is the greatest success. I’m just very grateful for such a beautiful chapter.’  

Roxanne added that her husband doesn’t care about fame and will make an ‘amazing’ father.

She said: ‘My dad walked out on my mum when I was born so I never truly believed in things lasting or people sticking around. But I met J and he’s been in my corner from day one. 

‘One day he thanked me for ‘being the reason he looked forward to coming home’ which he said he hadn’t felt since before his mom died. That was the most precious thing I’d ever heard.   

‘I knew then he valued the simple but important things in life which I craved. He didn’t care about the fame and he wasn’t affected by any headlines or narratives.

‘He told me he had waited forever for me, to stay with him and then he said ‘I’ve got you’ and he took my hand and hasn’t let go since. He’s going to make the most amazing dad because he’s already the most amazing husband.’ 

Roxanne went through a difficult time following her infamous appearance on Celebrity Big Brother.

She falsely accused fellow housemate Ryan Thomas of maliciously punching her before being slammed upon her departure.

She said the ‘industry, fame, the pressure and the people’ she had around her were a bad combination. 

She added: ‘After years of insecurity, paranoia and distress I now feel vindicated and also calm, especially having won my recent legal cases which brought me great satisfaction and closure. 

‘The industry, the fame, the pressure and the people I had around me, was such a bad combination with a negative impact on an already fragile mind.’
